That’s the central question of the day: How happy are you really with us? We mean – as a supplier of pictures from different parts of Norway? We often receive a ‘Like’ when we publish something, but to be real honest with you, we are struggeling a bit to reach a sufficient number of people. And we are possibly missing a few opportunities here. Perhaps have we been using our time ineffectively? Is it possible that we have been using too much time om photography and too little on marketing? But changing that, there will unavoidably be less pictures than before?

Then I got this idea:
Everybody seem to be on Facebook these days? Except me! At the time Facebook started up, they demanded commercial right withou any form of compensation to all material published. And since I’m into photos it was not acceptable to me. Thus I’never opened a FB profile!
Since then, Facebook has grown to a incredible volume. There must be at least a billion people enjoying a FB-profile? Then it hit me:
If you are really satisfied with SeeNorway, the quality of our pictures and the way we work;
if you feel you can defend asking your friends (and your friends friends :-) ) to visit us?
How about giving us a helping hand here? If you all conveyed our adress to all your registered friends with a recommendation to visit? It would probably only take you a few minutes, but I sincerely believe our day would change dramatically? And we could with the best of conscience use even more time on photography for your benefit.Do we have a deal?Sí, la pregunta de hoy es siusted es realmentefeliz con nosotros? Con nosotroscomo proveedor delas imágenes delos más diversoslugares en Noruega? A menudotenemos la‘Like’ enlo que producimos, pero para serhonesto con usted, así que todavía está luchandoun poco paradarnos a conocerabastante gente. Sentimos queperdemosalgunas oportunidadesaquí, y tal vezhemos estado haciendoalgún error? Tal vezhemos pasadodemasiado tiempo enla fotografía ydemasiado poco enla comercialización?Pero cambiaresto, entoncesseguramente se convertirá enun menor número deimágenes?

Glad you think so. These have been displayed before at some time but serve as a reminder to the text and its meaning. I have, however, just released a new report on Vang in Valdres.
Take a peek if you will.

You take great photos and I love looking at them – I am happy🙂
It seems that you are not happy. You need to ask yourself why you blog. There is no right answer – but there is no point doing it unless you enjoy it. You create lovely posts because of the beautiful photos – why would that not be enough reward in itself – irrespective of how many people see them?

You have some valid points here, Pat, but I would be lying to you (and to myself) if I said the respons didn’t matter. Then (theoretically) I should be just as happy if there was only one respons? After having invested 300 miles, gasoline, hotel and a full day in the field? One? I would like to think most of us would find something better to do? Of course, I’d still be taking photos. It’s my passion and my hobby, but I really wouldn’t need a blog, would I ?
As it is, I’ve been blogging for years. My first was in 2005 and I’ve been at it ever since. And after having had in excess of a million hits on previous blogs, I know the potential of Internet, but it takes a lot of time and work to get there. And time is a luxury I no longer have. Instead I’ve receeived a diagnosis that might limit time at my disposal in the future, and that’s why I’m trying to cut a few corners here. Don’t misunderstand me now. This is a 100% voluntary thing, and I do not need the help from everybody, but then again every little bit is a positive contribution. I’m quite happy with the followers I’ve got, but it’s always nice to know that one might reach even more people? Don’t we all? I’ll leave it at that.

We are happy but seems you are not happy with the number of likes you get or perhaps the rating is not enough. Yes, you can tap all medias, facebook is the favorite, so all members of your group should like it at facebook and also open a page for it..sort of a group..

As I said: I’m NOT on Facebook myself, and therefore I can’t use this opportunity.
I’m actually very happy with my followers and the ‘likes’ I get. They are all coming back every time. What I need is that more people discover my adress. They can’t visit something they don’t know exist. That’s my problem.
